Functions blows up

[YAMATO2201]

Calculus [Early Transcendental Functions]

Thanks. :-D That book seems to be written in plain English. It might be a good text, but it is prohibitively expensive. :shock:

Incidentally, are the first six chapters intended for high school students?

I don't think so. It is a complete calculus text as all others and quite thick.

Thanks.

By plain, do you mean simple [level with respect to language] or bad or at least clumsy? Why do you interested in that text so much? Aren't all texts quite similar to each other?

Why [STRIKE]do[/STRIKE] are you interested in that text so much?

I believe that almost all of the calculus texts published in Japan are much more concise than your quoted one.

I have never even seen a Japanese author who wrote a calculus text. All of them I have seen was either American or German. However does the above imply Japan has good books? Do you have any international publisher releasing books in English such as American Mc-Graw Hill, Wiley or German Springer?

Yes. I own the following books:

I am afraid I couldn't ask what I meant to ask again. I meant to ask that whether or not Japan has its own publishing companies and whether or not they are as good as American and German books.

 

[YAMATO2201]

However does the above imply Japan has good books?

I am guessing there are not many good math books here in Japan.

Does that mean "Does Japan have ..."? If so, my answer is "Not that I know of".

If you are a Japanese living in Japan, I think that you should have known whether they existed or not.

 

[YAMATO2201]

Why are you interested in that text so much?

Because I would like to get familiar with some mathematical terminology used in elementary mathematics.

 

[YAMATO2201]

I believe that almost all of the calculus texts published in Japan are much more concise than your quoted one.

I've just noticed "concise" is not the right word. I meant "... much more densely written than ...". I apologize.

Is calculus considered elementary mathematics in Japan?:shock:

It wasn't inflicted on me until I was 16.

Why could not? Cannot elementary apply to the almost all things such as calculus? Elementary calculus, elementary differential equations etc.

 

[hhtt21]

You mentioned 'elementary mathematics', not 'elementary calculus'.

If calculus is a branch of mathematics, hence is elementary calculus not elementary mathematics?
